ABSTRACT:
A rocket propelled missile round prepackaged in an environmentally sealed d electromagnetic interference protected container is adapted to be loaded into the rear of a portable hand-held launch tube for launching. The prepackaged round container is provided with pairs of electrical contacts on its exterior for receiving rocket motor ignition current from the launcher. The contact pairs are normally electrically shorted, but the shorting is adapted to be disestablished or "off shorted" by means within the launch tube, when the prepackaged round is received therein, for allowing selective ignition of the round's rocket motor.
